People do good because they are
human,
not because they are religious!

Do not give God any credit for the good they do, they did it!

Christian Hypocrisy on Theft

THE DOLE AND RESTITUTION

When religion collects money and presents guesses as facts and often
substantiated facts and unjustly censures doubt it can only be large-scale
theft. It ought to be compensating people not stealing from them. Their
swindling is cynical and cold. They have stolen from their parents and from
their friends. These are the men who are revolted by sons stealing from their
mothers. While some of the clergy may not steal from the collection plate they
are certainly stealing by handing the plates out.

The lies of the Church prove that she thieves. She is trying to steal truth from
people to bury it.

One serious form of theft in today’s society is people claiming to unemployment
benefit or assistance when they are really earning a wage. But only a few admit
that it is their duty to report these criminals to halt this stealing from the
taxpayer. They claim to be honest themselves while standing aside to let the
thieves get on with it – which is helping them to steal. They say it is bad to
let people steal while they are doing it themselves.

And these who don’t report are in good standing with the Church. Their priest or
minister will not tell them that they cannot take Holy Communion. The clergy
don’t want to complain because they don’t want to do the reporting themselves.
They don’t want to do it because they want to be popular. Then they tell you
that being popular is a bad sign. Jesus said that it is no blessing when all
speak well of you but a bad sign.

When you steal you have to make restitution as far as you can. If you don’t the
sin will not be pardoned because you are not sorry. Sorry means undoing the
damage you have done.

But what if you help somebody to steal? When burglar breaks into a house to let
his partner in crime in, both have stolen, even when it is the latter who lifts
the stuff. It is the same as this: if I tell a killer where his intended victim
is then I have killed that victim with my tongue. I have used it as a weapon.

Both thieves owe the value of the goods to the owner. One should pay one half
and the other the other half.

But what if one of them will not cough up? The accessory to the crime who is
willing to make amends must pay the lot. This makes the other criminal a debtor
to that person. It is not fair that the owner should have to be treated
unjustly. The criminal owes half of the cost of the goods to the other.

When you know of a person who is unjustly drawing unemployment money you have to
report that person and fully pay what was stolen yourself if he or she won’t do
it. The state will never get what is owed from her or him because it is hard to
prove how much was fiddled so one answer is to report as soon as it starts. If
you can’t report a person because they don’t fiddle anymore then you are bound
to pay what they owe if they won’t or can’t. You helped cause the crime so you
have to pay. Otherwise innocents lose out. You deserve to lose out. Even if the
whole community is to blame as well as you, you try to get them to pitch in and
if they don’t you pay yourself.

If you know that anybody has stolen and do not tell on them then you are helping
her or him to hold on to stolen goods. You have to make that person your debtor.

You never hear this stuff from the Church wants to be popular even if it means
sacrificing principles. The Church says that serious theft must be stopped for
it leads the thief into eternal damnation and the most dangerous thing is it is
a sin hard to repent from because of the compensation element. The neglect
exercised by the Church is very wrong.

If we hurt a person inadvertently we owe them compensation. We all have caused
the deaths and sufferings of the starving. We don’t fight for their rights or
send them enough money. We make no compensation so we are stealing. To have
money at all in this evil world is to steal. There are so many people we hurt.

If Jesus thought it was right to die for sinners to save them then we should pay
the debt to the state that a man who is defrauding it would owe the state. We
should tell him that he owes them nothing anymore and owes it to us. If he
repents we can forget the debt altogether.

The faith that says you collaborate with a murderer if you step aside to let him
kill your child says that if you let a man steal from the state it’s different!
The damn hypocrisy!

LYING AND THEFT

Police and detectives and politicians and soldiers and lawyers cannot do their
jobs without telling lies. Yet all five are welcome at the Church's communion as
if they are good Christians. The hypocrisy of a religion that condemns lies is
astounding. You commit murder. You get a good lawyer. The lawyers job is not to
show you are innocent but to win. The lawyer wants to get you off even if you
are guilty and this is just because he is paid to do so. The Church would carry
on regarding them highly say even if one in five people were lawyers. When
people choose to believe a faith that says at least great liars go to Hell
forever that says a lot about them when they espouse such hypocrisy and commend
it. If they are not vindictive they are verging on it.

What if people come to your door asking for your brother who is upstairs and you
know they will kill him if they find him? Tell what is not true. This is not
lying for you have no alternative. You are no more a liar than a calculator that
is set to give the wrong result is. You are not telling the truth that is for
sure but you are not doing it of your own will so you are not a liar. Would you
be a liar if you were hypnotised not to tell the truth? The Catholic Church and
the Christians believe that you must always tell the truth and never tell
untruths. This teaching is just fanaticism and proves how the Church puts dogma
before people.

If you say that your brother is not here meaning that he is not standing at the
door with you, is this attempt to make them delude themselves with the truth you
have spoken permissible? Such a practice will not work very long for people will
wise up to it. It is the Catholic Church’s solution to what we should do,
typical advice from that ivory tower system! And it is not hard to ask in such a
way that the person cannot avoid having to decide between a truth and a full
lie. For example, the would be murderers might phrase it as follows: “Is your
brother in the house?” Chances are they will. To take the Church’s advice will
only get you in trouble with the men for in such cases a bold lie is the only
salvation. The time would rapidly come when the person who is thought to know
where an intended victim will be tortured to extract the information from them
in case they are just avoiding telling the truth but not actually lying. Using
the truth in a deceptive manner becomes useless when too widely approved and
practiced. That happens with lying too. Lying wouldn’t be as bad for at least
you will have to pay for it and you will learn your lesson. Also, lies oppose
the truth and because of their contrast they can be identified. But using the
truth to destroy truth is attempting to permanently prevent discovery and take
the reverence due to truth away from it forever. The person who makes a good
forgery is worse than the person who makes a bad one.

To say he is not here meaning he is not standing at the door with you is using
the truth in a deceptive manner. The intention is to cause a deception to make
the men think you mean he is not in the house. If lying is totally and
absolutely wrong as the Church says so is this.

What about secret lies that cannot be found out? Since you must put yourself
first you must be good and honest about yourself. Otherwise you will make
people love your false image instead of you. To lie is to oppose the truth and
is condemning what is real. You are real so you are degrading yourself the more
you lie about yourself.

What about white lies? What do you say to a person who asks you if they look
good while they really look awful? Tell them the truth gently and you will be
trusted. Better to be trusted than to avoid hurting people for little things.

It is said that silence can be form of lying. The Church would reply, “A wife
tells you that her husband is faithful. You know he is not and do not tell her.
Then it is supposed she will think that she is right for she thinks you agree
with her. But the wife is just assuming that. You are not deceiving her by your
silence for she is deceiving herself and she knows your silence is not proof.”
But you know she is deceiving herself and if you can’t lie she can’t be allowed
to deceive herself. If lying is wrong because of the deceit, then so is doing
anything or not doing anything that results in any deception even a person
deceiving themselves.

You should not lie to get yourself out of trouble when you have made your bed.
When you do wrong take what is coming to you for you asked for it and do not lie
to save yourself.

Some say that we should not tell small lies for then you are telling people that
you cannot maintain loyalty to truth in small things and so cannot be trusted
when it comes to things of some importance.

Should you risk losing your job to speak up for the reputation of an obnoxious
worker who was falsely accused of stealing? Yes – if you can give evidence for
what you say. Once you begin to take advantage of the misfortunes of others you
are permitting yourself to do that all the time. You must be brave and courage
will get your life back on track if the worst happens. Take the unfortunate
situation as an opportunity to exercise and develop courage. We should avoid of
the opportunity to do that. Hardship becomes easier as you get more accustomed
to it.

If A is underpaid by a selfish and avaricious employer he should not get his
money by secretly taking from the employer even though that certainly would not
be stealing. Even if he it is the only way to get what he is owed he should not
do it for the sake of trust. He would be attempting to pull the wool over the
boss’s eyes.

Advertising is a form of legalised theft. Things are made to sound like they are
better than what the competition has to offer. For example, anti-aging creams
are a clear example of modern fraudulence. Sunscreens are promoted as protecting
against the aging part of the suns rays while zinc oxide is the only product
that can be trusted to do it properly. Tests are performed all the time and just
as often shot down by another panel of testers. You buy washing powder in big
boxes and when you open the boxes they are two thirds full. All this is to
deceive the eye and the memory and to lie to people to get rid of products. And
the practitioners of such fraud are all looked up to by the Church.

Lying and stealing stand and fall together. If one is wrong so is the other for
lying is stealing the truth from another person and giving them a fake.
